The book of Joshua is one of the Bible's great adventure stories. But how do you teach it to your kids?

Sandwiched between the wilderness wandering and the era of the judges, Joshua is the book that finally delivers on God's ancient promise. After four hundred years of slavery and forty years of wandering, Israel is finally crossing into the land God swore to give Abraham's descendants. Walls fall. Armies crumble. An entire nation receives its inheritance.

But this isn't just a war story. It's a book about faith that takes steps before it sees results. It's about a God who keeps every promise he makes-even when fulfillment takes five hundred years. And it's the story of unlikely heroes: a terrified new leader stepping into impossible shoes, and a Canaanite prostitute whose faith puts an entire nation to shame.

What Is the Book of Joshua? makes this action-packed book accessible for today's young readers. Written in a warm, conversational style that doesn't shy away from hard questions or talk down to kids, this guide walks through all twenty-four chapters of Joshua with:

Engaging illustrations from pop culture-from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse to The Prince of Egypt-that connect biblical themes to stories kids already know and love Honest engagement with difficult content-handling violence, divine judgment, and moral complexity in age-appropriate ways that spark real conversations Real-life application-helping kids see how Joshua's themes of courage, obedience, and trusting God's promises speak to their own challenges and fears

Whether your child is learning to trust God through scary transitions, wrestling with why obedience matters, or ready to explore one of the Bible's most dramatic books, What Is the Book of Joshua? will show them that the God who stopped the Jordan and brought down Jericho's walls is still keeping his promises today.

Perfect for family reading, church classes, or independent study.
